Assessments
Neuropsychiatric and Psychoeducational Assessments
Do you feel like life's everyday challenges seem harder than they should be?
Whether for yourself or your child, there may be a quiet awareness that something is different. Perhaps it's a unique way of thinking—remarkable creativity and insight—yet social situations feel overwhelming. Thoughts either race uncontrollably or seem to freeze entirely when attention turns your way. These moments might appear during meetings, class participation, or group activities, despite clearly knowing the material.
The daily mechanics of life remain a puzzle. Despite trying every organizational system imaginable, deadlines catch you by surprise, assignments get lost, and spaces transform into chaos no matter how many times they're organized. Simple routines can feel unexpectedly challenging, even with consistent support and strategies in place.
These challenges feed persistent self-doubt, and the questions begin to multiply: Could it be ADHD? Autism? An intensely creative brain? An underlying learning difference? Each possibility feels both threatening and hopeful—threatening because labels can be scary, yet hopeful because having an explanation might finally help things make sense.
Now that you're ready to seek help, the path to answers seems impossibly complex. There's talk of psychiatrists, medications, and various types of testing. Different approaches are mentioned, and the terminology alone is exhausting.
You might feel like you're being asked to climb a mountain to prove you need help climbing mountains.
What if you could find all these answers through one thorough, integrated process?
What if climbing that mountain didn't require visiting multiple offices and coordinating between different providers?
Our comprehensive assessments are designed to do exactly that...
Our approach includes:
-
Qualitative and quantitative interviews with clients and relevant collateral sources, such as family members and educators.
-
Direct testing in areas such as cognition, memory, learning, academic achievement, executive functioning, sensorimotor processing, language and communication, and social, emotional, and behavioral skills.
-
A comprehensive review of prior medical, psychiatric, developmental, social, educational, and professional information.
-
As appropriate, ordering and interpretation of relevant lab work to rule out medical conditions that might contribute to or mimic behavioral health issues.
-
Pharmacogenetic testing and interpretation available for clients with histories of medication sensitivity or limited therapeutic response.Comprehensive medication consultations tailored to individual histories and lifestyle considerations to create personalized treatment strategies.
-
In-depth, nuanced reports that not only provide documentation for academic and workplace accommodations but, more crucially, deliver the depth of understanding needed to chart a meaningful path forward.
-
Evidence-based, actionable recommendations and streamlined referrals to expert professionals, who are currently accepting new clients.Therapeutic feedback sessions throughout the assessment process, ensuring clear understanding and providing space for processing results. This includes coordinating with educators and other collateral supports to seamlessly implement recommendations.
This approach reduces the time, stress, and expense of consulting multiple providers separately, ensuring a truly holistic understanding of your health and wellbeing.
Bespoke Exploratory Assessments for Adults
Imagine understanding not just how your mind works, but how it excels.
Perhaps you've always known you process information differently - moving more quickly through complex problems than others, seeing patterns where colleagues see chaos, or holding vast amounts of data at your fingertips.
Yet you wonder: what exactly is going on in your brain and how can you leverage these natural abilities even further?
Or perhaps you've noticed subtle shifts in your mental acuity. The razor-sharp recall that defined your career feels less reliable, or the stamina for high-stakes decisions isn't quite what it used to be.
Whether you're seeking to optimize peak performance (neurooptimization) or establish a baseline understanding of your cognitive health (neurowellness), these sophisticated assessments illuminate both your distinctive mental advantages and areas for enhancement through precision testing and tailored, actionable interventions.
